Old Business:
Rick Reynolds introduced the topic of Staff Council Scholarships. Teresa Andrews
described the status of the scholarship awards, due to turnover in the Financial Aids
office no awards were given for the Fall semester. Council members discussed the
possibility of awarding more scholarships than we award typically this spring, due to not
having disbursed the Fall scholarships. Discussion ensued regarding the criteria for
scholarships. It was suggested that Mary Ann, Trudy, Teresa and Nadine review the criteria
and report to the Council at our next meeting. An initial motion to change the criteria
was tabled until it is more thoroughly evaluated. Rick Reynolds moved to provide
scholarship for 2 staff and 1 student this Spring semester. Lisa Ruddell seconded the
motion. All were in favor.
The topic of Staff Memorial was introduced. Lisa Ruddell reminded Jesse that Carl
Davis's name was to be added to the list, as discussed at the previous meeting. Jesse
read an email communication sent by Angie Clark regarding Carl.
"Perhaps we could add Carl Davis’ name to the list for the trees. Carl was a
good custodian that worked on this campus for twenty-six years, and it would be great to
recognize him. He was a valuable employee who worked up until he couldn't work any
more with his sickness. I think it would be appropriate to add his name when talking about
planting trees as a memorial." -Angie Clark.
Dave Kaiser recalled several other members of staff who it will be appropriate to have
on the memorial plaque. Rick Reynolds gained consensus from the Staff Council members to
proceed with making the memorial happen.
New Business
